No kidding around: Renowned surgeon James Andrews stresses seriousness of youth sports injuries | High School Sports | theadvocate.com
This is one of the things I have been trying to balance with my youngest. On one hand, I say hey injuries happen and he is not the type to just sit in the house so he might as well participate in the organized youth sports complex. On the other hand, I wouldn't wish all of my aches and pains etc. on anybody especially my own flesh and blood.

And until a colored man is a full citizen, like me, I haven’t the leisure to enjoy the freedom that colored man risked his life to maintain for me. I don’t own what I have until he owns an equal share of it. Until somebody beats me and blinds me, I am in his debt."- Orson Welles August 11, 1946
